Where the hell is Helen Marshall?

"I've lived in Queens my entire life and never, have I seen such destruction. Destruction along with such abandonment by the very people sworn to represent us.

From the news out there currently, 80% of manhattan has had power restored. Whereas, 80% of Queens residents without power are still without power.

Rockaway, Howard beach, and Breezy Point are all in QUEENS! Just to name a few of the communities in QUEENS that have been devastated if not completely wiped out due to SANDY!

Some of our local politicians have been out there assessing and helping. Others have had their offices open on a 24 hour basis handling its constituents issues.

Local senators, assembly members, council members, and even a district leader (one who actually lives in the area he is the district leader of) have been out and about. Visible, helpful, lending a hand.

Molinaro, of Staten Island has been visible and rightfully vocal. Markowitz, of Brooklyn out there visible and vocal. Springer of Manhattan out there visible, helpful, vocal.

So my question and my concern is: If all of these Boro Presidents are out there, working for their community, their constituents. Where the hell is the Queens Boro President?
Is she ok? I hope so, if she is ok, why isn't she out there advocating for us? Why isn't she making sure that Rockaway, Howard Beach, Breezy Point, and the rest of Queens are taken care of?

If she is not ok: Where the hell is the deputy Boro president???

Either way, she and or her office, have abandoned us!"

Well, her office sent out some photos of a "tour" she allegedly made of the destruction. But she's not in any of them.

Where are Deputy Borough President Barry Grodenchick and the other candidates for borough president?

Do we have or need a Queens Boro president?. I remember when she had the ribbon cutting ceremony of Arvene by the Sea "condos", perhaps 8 -10 years ago?I knew back then that any sucker who bought into Helen's bright idea would one day wish they hadn't.Arvene by the Sea was nearly destroyed by the storm.

Exactly what I was asking yesterday when I posted a comment to the Mike Bloomberg article. Let's get a REAL Borough President to represent the interests of Queens who shows some of the passion that is exhibited in Brooklyn and Staten Island. Here it is:

Does Queens still have a Borough President?

James Molinaro was visible and vocal in securing aid for Staten Island and we need all elected officials to focus on securing help for victims and securing aid for reconstruction. The role of the Borough President is that of an advocate and cheerleader and Queens deserves better than to have an 83 year old career politician in that role who is a creation of one party rule inbreeding.

It's true! All of these duplications of political services, paid for by us, should be eliminated. What the hell is a boro president anyway? Anyone out there really know what they do, except collecdt our tax money. Community Boards? Advisory? Worthless! Get rid of them! Preassure your City Council people to eliminate these offices by legislation or referendum! Wake up New York!

Why your neighborhood is full of Queens Crap

"The difference between dishonest and honest graft: for dishonest graft one worked solely for one's own interests, while for honest graft one pursued the interests of one's party, one's state, and one's personal interests all together." - George Washington Plunkitt
